How to choose the wire drawing nibs for your exact application

Release time:2022/01/23
Drawing dies are widely used, such as high-precision wire materials used in electronic devices, radar, television, instrumentation and aerospace, as well as commonly used tungsten wire, molybdenum wire, wire and cable wire, stainless steel wire,  and various alloy wires are all pulled by a diamond wire drawing die. The production process of drawing die nibs includes several process such as die pressing, shapping, checking, sintering and post-handling. Drawing die process is that a wire through a mold to make it from coarse to fine, and gradually reach the size required by people. This special type of die is the drawing die. The drawing die is generally made of tunsten carbide. Copper wire drawing die is a soft wire drawing die. There are hard wire drawing die, such as pull tungsten wire. The center of all drawing dies has a certain shape of hole, round, square, octagonal or other special shapes. As the metal is pulled through the die hole, it becomes smaller in size and even changes in shape. A steel mold is sufficient for pulling a soft metal such as gold or silver, and there may be a plurality of holes of different diameters in the steel mold. 

Zhuzhou Hongtong manufactures large standard cemented tungsten carbide drawing nibs that are known for their impeccable geometry and unique and consistent grade composition. We offer not only a wide range of standard dimensions but also a superior quality in special designs. Hongtong's ability to partner with you to design and manufacture nibs as well as the engineering support we offer, make us uniquely positioned to solve your wire drawing needs.

But how you choose the exact nibs for your application?
1, you should know what kind of wire you wanna it use for. some wires need soft carbide nibs, and some others need hard carbide nibs.
2, you know know your exact working environment. the same carbide nibs may have different performance for different working adition, it's common rules for almost all industrial process.
3, you have to check which size works for you. Generally speaking, bigger wires requires bigger wire drawing nibs, but some clients prefer special designs.
4, the expectation of the working time of the wire drawing nibs. this will direct the sales people to give you better suggestion on the material grade, input/output angle etc.
5, the frequency of your maintanance. this also affect the whole life of the drawing nibs.
6, most important, talk to our salespeople, they will give you professional advices.
